Tottenham Hotspur Warned to Brace for FA Fine in the Coming Weeks

Enzo Fernandez’s second-half strike proved decisive as Chelsea claimed victory over Tottenham, handing Ange Postecoglou his fourth consecutive defeat against the Blues since taking charge of Spurs.

The primary headline from the match has been Postecoglou’s controversial gesture towards Spurs fans, cupping his ears in response to their frustration.

This act has only deepened the growing tension between the Australian manager and the Tottenham faithful.

However, another moment from the game is likely to draw closer inspection from football authorities.

Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett has weighed in on a first-half incident that could see both clubs face disciplinary action.

Just before halftime, referee Craig Pawson awarded a foul outside the Chelsea box.

Chelsea defender Levi Colwill picked up the ball, appearing to question the decision.

Cristian Romero then rushed in and seemed to push Colwill in the chest, causing the Chelsea player to fall.

This incident quickly escalated into a melee involving players from both sides.

The clash included a fiery confrontation between Spurs’ Rodrigo Bentancur and Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah.

Hackett praised referee Craig Pawson’s response to the incident, stating he managed the chaos effectively by following the mass confrontation protocol.

Speaking to Football Insider, Hackett said, “In the first half of the Chelsea vs Spurs game, we witnessed a mass confrontation after a player was pushed to the ground.

Pawson handled it well and will now submit a detailed report to the authorities. I expect both clubs will be charged with failing to control their players.”

Off the pitch, James Maddison addressed fans’ growing frustrations.

Tottenham’s performance on Thursday night added to a string of disappointing displays, particularly on the road.

The midfielder acknowledged that supporters have every reason to feel let down and admitted the team is searching for answers amid their poor Premier League form.

Despite the struggles, Maddison urged fans not to give up on the team.

He called for unity and support, especially with the club still chasing European success.

Maddison stressed that fan backing is essential if Spurs are to achieve something meaningful in the Europa League this season.
